NOTE:
If you have the casters
installed on your refrigerator,
the
leveling screws will not work. Shims can be placed
under the casters
to level a refrigerator
that has casters
installed.
Door Closing
Your refrigerator
has two front adjustable
rollers - one on the right
and one on the left. If your refrigerator
seems unsteady
or you want
the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's
tilt using the
instructions
below:
1.
Remove the base grille. See Base Grille graphic. The two leveling
screws are part of the front roller assemblies
which are at the
base of the refrigerator
on either side.
2.
Use a screwdriver
to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the leveling
screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator
or turn the
leveling screw to the left to lower that side. It may take several
turns of the leveling screws to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
NOTE:
Having someone
push against the top of the refrigerator
takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This makes
it easier to adjust the screws.
